rarest checklist in hockey, although i never thought it would get much higher than the opening bid
Well at a POP 7 its just as rare (PSA wise) as my 1962 Topps Checklist (and 9 years older). I just have a feeling there are some of the OPC's in private collections up north.

demand. the '71 checklist is notorious for being one of the hardest checklist cards to find, let alone in high grades. the '71 OPC set is probably the most popular set of the decade, far more popular than the '62 Topps set. there are also more people seriously collecting the '71 set. this isn't a knock on you or your card, the '71 is just a lot more desirable.

I really do not see 1971/72 OPC Hockey lighting the world on fire on the registry.

Please explain to me what Im missing here.

Here are some more facts:
1971/72 OPC Hockey- 1024 PSA 8s graded, 137 PSA 9s (TOTAL OF 1161 cards) graded for a 264 card set. That equals out to 4.3977 PSA8s and 9s per card in the set.
1962 Topps Hockey - 696 PSA 8s and 71 PSA 9s (TOTAL of 767 cards) graded for a 66 card set. that equals out to 11.62 PSA 8s and 9s per card in the set.
So please explain to me how 1971 OPC is so much desirable from a grading perspective than 1962 Topps? There is nearly 3 times as many 1962s graded per card than 1971 OPC's!
How do all those serious collectors split up the 4.3977 PSA 8 & 9 slabs per card number?
Im not saying that 1962 Topps Hockey is God's gift to Hockey cards (far from it!!) but its best to know something about the set before making blanket statements about it.

there is a collecting world outside the PSA Registry, i would recommend you look into it before making "blanket statements" about this comparison
Guys-
I was looking at actual POP numbers.....so it doesnt really matter if they are registered or not.
POP is POP no matter if there are 5 or 50 sets registered.
Good point.
<< <i>In comparing to the 62 checklist . I bought mine in September in 8 for 185.00. You could run ebay auctions for that card once a month for the next 7 months and it would not sell for anymore than 400 most likely in the 200-300 range. The 1971 checklist you could run it on ebay once a month for 7 months and it would not sell under 700. Well the supply is the same but the demand is much different >>
I was just providing cold hard facts.
Since you seem to get some amazing deals on 1962's.....care to make some money and sell me some of yours?
Good luck with your sale
How it all began-
I know the big spender...in fact I bought 3 duplicates off him last week. So been Ive been there done that....old news.
In regards to Teemu..unless he just picked up 19 & 66 in the last couple of days...he still needs them.
Am I supposed to be worried about a collector holding back till October? Thats pretty funny...I could care less.
My goal is to complete the set in PSA 8 or higher and list the cards as I get them on the registry. When the cards begin to dry up...then start another set....repeat if necessary. If a person wants to hold back all their cards and surpise the entire hockey world by grabbing the all important 1962 Topps Hockey piece of paper at the last possible second........ then all the power to them!!!
As long as i have collected i have never seen a 71-72 111 checklist worthy of an 8 or a PSA 8 in person.
I know 4 of the 5 bidders on the 111 checklist and all are solid bidders with bids over $950. That tells me you could sell at least 4 at that price.
Im willing to pay in the $700 range for one. Darren and Tom and Garry all need this card as well for there sets
Anybody need a 63-64 topps checklist i have one i bought on ebay for $189 last Fall. Simon just sold one on ebay for $285.00 ?
Randy
Randy-
What sets are hockey sets are you collecting right now?
John
I believe the POP on the 1963 Checklist is 13.
John
Well I guess all the #19s are accounted for. Dav has 1, I have 1, and from what you are saying.....Teemu picked one up in the past couple of days.
In any case...he did offer a trade last week for my #19 & #66 and offered to give me multiple 1962 PSA 8s for them. I guess he is building two sets then...eh?
John
<< <i>John, about your '62 set....when we spoke last month you were around 39% complete. now you are over 75% complete. very impressive >>
Must be nice to move your set 40% in a month. I can't move mine 3% in a year.
1954
As Randy stated, the 71 OPC #111 is the hottest hockey checklist around!
Tom
howitallbegan, PM me at mrteemu@aol.com
So....do you have the last remaining #19 out there?
I'm a poker player and don't like to show my hand. As far as the awards, I could have won alot more last year if I desired. I post cards when I feel like it.
Tom
Tom,
I play as well....my speciality is no limit hold'em. If you play hold'em online at P.P. .....it would be fun to sit at your table.
Im always game for heads up as well.
If you're playing Hold 'em, I recommend Paradise. The software is better, and the games, IMO, are just as good. Also, I've had suspicions about the integrity of Party's sofware for some time now.
When I said P.P. I meant Pardise Poker...been playing there for years. I wil PM you in a bit to find out what tables you play.
John
